Bike Maintenance Basics - 15th & 22nd Feb 2023

[Helen]

Hello!

Please sign up below for 1 or 2 evenings of learning & practicing basic bike maintenance & repairs.

Based on the topics people were interested in, I'm looking at splitting the content over a couple of evening sessions in Feb. If there's anything specific that's not listed that you'd like to cover then shout and if I can I'll work it in.

Vijay is hosting, exact location and timings TBC.

Weds 15th Feb 2023 - Session 1

• Useful tools to have on rides
• Removing both wheels
• Fixing punctures, changing tyres & patching tubes
• Dealing with dropped chains
• Looking after your chain
• What a bike shop does when they service your bike (and why you should have your bike serviced!)

Weds 22nd Feb 2023 - Session 2

• Fixing broken chains
• Other common roadside issues & fixes/work arounds
• Bolts: grease, lock tight, torque + torque wrenches
• Useful tools to have at home
• Time allowing, changing brake pads

Helpers also welcome if you know this stuff already!

More info on stuff to bring (other than bikes) nearer the time...

Yes to both dates please.
